Standard buttons in xp folders keep disappearing

Hi, whenever I open a folder, the standard buttons, forward and back, etc. are missing. I can have to display toolbar and add buttons again, but when I close the window and reopen it again I have to do the same thing again as they went. I tried various toolbar fix on the net but nothing works. I don't want to install windows again as I have too much software and settings that I don't want to lose.

Does anyone have a solution to help?

Thank you very much

Chris

  • My buttons of browser (red/yellow/green) in the upper part of the browser keep disappearing.

    The control at the top left of my browser buttons keep disappearing! They leave me no other way I know to close or minimize the page but to exit firefox. This is not the problem, unless I want to just look at other work on my screen but not leave firefox altogether but simply switch vertically when necessary. I am extremely frustrated with this! This isn't in any convenient way for the use of the internet and my other apps that don't require a browser to open.

    Possibly related: last month, some Mac users have reported that the 3 buttons would disappear if you full-screened a video and then have left full-screen for video. A workaround solution suggested for this was to display the title bar, which is hidden by default.

    You want to try for a few hours and see if it makes a difference? To display the title bar on each window, you must click on a button at the bottom left of the Customize tab. See: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars.

    Hi, Lewis S.,.

    Shortcuts to sites will initially their own custom icon when you create a shortcut. This icon is called a "favicon.ico" and is stored in the temporary Internet files (TIF) cache, which is where all website files, are stored when you visit them. If the cache is disabled, all custom icons are removed.

    You can restore the favorite icons of bookmarking site again. The other method is described below.

    Step 1: Locate the favorite on the Temporary Internet Files folder icons.

    a. the default temporary Internet files location is C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

    b. navigate to the location above.

    c. ensure that the hidden files and folders is disabled so that you can access the location.

    Reference: Show hidden files

    d. type fav*.ico in the search field. This will pull up your favorite icons.

    e. copy and paste icons to another folder, such as the C:\Favorites icon.

    Follow the instructions below to point the bookmark to the permanent icon file.

    Step 2: Customize icons

    a. open Internet Explorer.

    b. click the Favorites icon.

    c. right-click on the favorite that you want to change icon.

    d. Select Properties.

    e. under the web document tab, click Change icon.

    f. click Browse to navigate to the location where the folder is stored. IE C:\Favorites icon.

  • App tabs keep disappear when firefox is charged - at least once a day!

    App tabs keep disappearing in 64-bit Windows 7 at least once a day?

    (PIN) App tabs and groups of tabs (Panorama) are stored in session data [1] in the sessionstore.js file [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].

    Make sure that you do not use "Clear recent history" to clear the 'browsing history' when Firefox is closed because who wins and prevent Firefox tabs from the previous session.

    It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" parameter, which is generally a more reliable way to restore the session data.

    If you like CCleaner cleaning software, then make sure that the Session is disabled in the parameters of the Firefox application.

  • wallpaper keeps disappearing in XP

    My wallpaper continues to disappear after reboot. He's going to stick around for several times, then disappear. The background color is not affected, and neither are the icons and the taskbar. It's just the image that keeps disappearing.

    What is happening with my own photos and the value default ones (all the bmp). I tried to move one of my own pictures (bmp) into the wallpaper folder (C:/Windows) and selecting it from there, but the same thing happens.

    The computer is not on a network, and no other user accounts are defined on it.

    The only difference is that I have a new monitor. But despite this, the wallpaper will stay for a few days through several resets, then someday it just... disappeared. When I open the display properties, the image is shown as being assigned and even appears in the Preview Panel. By clicking on it, then again restores it immediately on the desktop.

    I use Win XP, SP3. Thank you.

    I'm sorry to say I think you are a form of Malware running on your system, defeating the wallpaper.

    I would go to MalwareBytes.org to try their dose.

    Hi ad391970,

     

    The reason for updates make changes on the computer would be some conflicting third-party programs or there might be a corruption in the Windows Update components.

    I suggest that you try to install updates by disabling the third-party program conflict and check if it works.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Perform the check and the clean boot if you have the problem.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    User account control permission

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If the problem is resolved to check what is the cause of the problem, referring to the link given below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    If the step above does not resolve the issue updates suggest that you try to reset the component of windows update and check if it works.

    Check out the link below to find out how to reset the windows component update

    How to reset the Windows Update components?

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    If the step above does not resolve the question suggests that you check in a new user account if you are faced with a similar question. If a face similar to a new user account which means your other user account has been corrupted.

  • Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I wasn't staying on the left (that's why I first open). How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?

    Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I want to keep it on the left (that's why I first open).  How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?  I'm talking about the buttons on list of my open applications and documents in Windows Vista.  The bar tasks are "locked", but the button of the window open with gmail in internet explore reappears suddenly in the good moments apparently random.

    It is in the middle part of the taskbar (what I found online so far is on the start menu, the quick launch area or area/system tray of notification, the location of the taskbar in full, either about grouping taskbar - I disabled because I would like to separate).  Can anyone help?  I don't understand why this is happening (or why microsoft would never do).

    Lock the taskbar that it prevents to be moved elsewhere on the office and maintains the different sections where they are - it does not block the tabs showing what is open where they were when they were opened.  There is no control for this function.  Maybe if you uncheck similar taskbar buttons group it will help, but I honestly don't know (and fear he won't make any difference - it may even make things worse).  This also happens to me and I was unable to find an answer.  I think that there are more than just random, but I can't telll you why he moves the legs periodically (sometimes it works fine all day and other days it happens almost immediately).  But still, there is no control for this function, so there is no way to tell him to keep a specific order or to lock an established order, once it has been created.  I suspect that it happens because the notification area icons appear and hide and new programs open and close and which changes the amount of space available and so he rearranges things so that they match and apparently does not always consider the original sequence in which the elements have been added.  Maybe if you remove the Quick Launch toolbar and then add again, the order will reset (but that I know not - probably not in the original sequence, which I doubt is logged nowhere - it did not work when I tried it).

    Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to this problem (and I spend a little time looking for even before myselff posed the question) and do not believe that there is a.  It is also unfortunate that you can't move them so they can be put back in the right order if they change.  I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your system or that it is something that can be repaired or fixed - it's just the way it is and we just have to live with it.  I don't know any 3rd party software that controls the order of tabs open in the taskbar program (but you can check out Bing, Gooogle,www.tucows.comand www.download.com to see if I'm wrong on this - here n "t all when I looked trying to solve this problem for my own system).

    I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.  I don't know if it's different in Windows 7.

    Good luck!

  • Why my cable network keep disappearing?

    My network keeps disappearing.

    It works very well for several days, then suddenly it disconnects.

    The network itself works fine and accessible with the help of other computers. The router is OK and works correctly.

    On the Windows 7 computer, however, the network turns off without warning.

    Run the troubleshooter network leads to "no connection is available. But Wired etherenet is available and functioning OK. There is no problem if I remove the cable and plug it into another PC.

    Something on the Windows 7 machine is clearly at fault - but what?

    Hello

    I had already tried in safe mode and the problem persists.

    I have, I think, discovered the issue.

    Automatic update Windows 7 is activated and updated the driver for the network adapter to the latest version.

    When I restore the old version, there is no problem.

    There is clearly an error in the driver for the NIC - a card Realtek PCIe FF. The new driver is the problem - with the old driver, everything is OK.

  • Why my ruler guides keep disappears when I place them on the Web?

    I work with Adobe Fireworks CS4 and continues to be the strangest thing.  When I bring a guide on the canvas and release the button of my mouse, it disappears.  It is now a luck of the draw.  Sometimes they stay, sometimes they won't.  I don't know what is happening.  When I drag them from the top of the sovereign, they normally stay, but sometimes they disappear there too after I release my mouse.  Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated right now.  Thank you!

    This seems odd. Have you tried to check the view menu, markers, to check the Guides display has been selected? It should not be necessary, because a new guide of the rule will usually activate this option anyway, but it's the most obvious suggestion.

    The next time that a guide disappears, you might try the shortcut command-Shift-Z to trigger 'Repeat add Guide' and see if it brings back. (This command is also available under the Edit menu.)

    You have the Guides panel installed? Is not directly relevant, but it's a tool really good to work with guides, and I was curious that you encountered the same problems when using the Panel to create placemarks.

    http://www.Adobe.com/devnet/Fireworks/articles/guides_panel.html

    The only way I can get a guide to disappear spontaneously, is if I drop out of the surface of the canvas...
